It's a scary time. As a Buddhist, I recognize that supporting those who would use violence leaves us with with a government that is willing to use violence to achieve its ends. King Louis is gone but Robespierre takes his place. How do we move forward? By maintaining basic human connection. By reminding others of that connection.
In a similar vein, here's a photo of Alamogordo district 3 city commissioner, Warren Robinson speaking before the start of the MLK march. He pointed out that in the past such marches were in fear of the police, but that today they were protecting the march. Various marchers waved and said hello to the police arrayed along the march route. Some struck up conversations.
At the end of the march folks entered the historic Dudley school, where various meetings took place...formal and informal.
